I was always ideologiclly left libertarian and wasn't old enough or smart enough to realize that the right-wing commentators reccommended by YouTube's algorithim weren't consistant with my views. They really wanted us to hate minorities and women for some reason. They would lie and/or cherry-pick data to make their fucked-up world view sound reasonable.

I felt like such a goddamn idiot when I realized I was made the fool by absolute human trash like Milo Yiannopoulos, Gavin McInnes, Charlie Kirk, and Blaire White. I think this video is what finally snapped me out of it. I don't know if this video is any good. I haven't watched it in quite a while.

I'd like to think I'm a lot wiser now and less likely to trust, for better or worse. I still feel pretty guilty about that period of my life but I was young and impressionable I guess. In high school I had a gay, punk rocker friend (now identifies as a trans woman) who put up with me for some reason. Why, I'll never understand. She said "If it was anyone else making those jokes I'd be concerned" or something to that effect.

I eventually realized I aligned ideologiclly with socialism and communism (not the tankie kind). Just last week I learned who Hasan Piker is and I've been watching him alot. Also happy to see iDubbbz is woke now. Anyway I'm in a much better place now and always working on improving myself.
